One of the things I am proud of is that we as a committee have really begun to talk about skills education in conjunction with what has traditionally been called higher education or as I prefer to call it, post-secondary education.

I believe perpetuating this narrative while convenient for institutions of post-secondary education is detrimental to perspective students who will take on more debt and spend more time than perhaps necessary to complete their studies.

Right now, there are more than 7 million unfilled jobs in the United States, many of which remain open because there are not enough workers with the necessary skills to fill them.
